All Staff Retreat 2016

In August of 2016, Charak held our yearly All Staff Retreat in Garfield Heights. During this all day meeting, we discussed better ways to care for clients and families, how to better understand mental illness and treatments for it, and overall skillsets that will benefit patients in the future. We also discussed the Research facility and statistics, basic outlines of the addictions program and case management. We had two special guests, the Founder of Cover2 Resources,

and a representative of Shire Pharmaceuticals. The educational seminar was able to keep all of our clinicians up to date on the newest treatment modalities.
